SSM Helper

Adds some custom stuff that's pretty neat if I do say so myself.

If you have any issues or suggestions, please don't hestitate to ping or message me on Discord (ssm24).

Entities

• Zero Grav Bounds Controller: Makes it so Maddy dies when going off the top of the screen in addition to the bottom. Intended for zero-gravity maps.

• Reverse Killbox: Killbox but kills you if you go above it, in much the same way as the Zero Grav Bounds Controller. Intended for zero-gravity maps.

• Resizable Dash Switch (SJ port): A lightbulb-esque dash switch that can be resized and attached to solids. Originally from Paint in Strawberry Jam.

• Nyom Buble

(SJ port): A circular field that massively boosts the player's dash when they're inside of it. Originally from Chromatic Complex in Strawberry Jam.

• Dangerous Badeline Boss (SJ port): A Badeline Boss which kills you if you touch it, but can be damaged by explosions (such as the Crystal Bombs from Cavern Helper). Originally from Attack of the Clone in Strawberry Jam.

• Barrier Dash Switch (SJ port): A dash switch that automatically kills jellyfish that activate it. Originally from Vinculum in Strawberry Jam.

• Delayed Ultra Indicator Controller: Shows a dot above the player when they have a delayed ultra stored.

• Bloom Pulse Controller: Creates a pulsing bloom effect. Can be made persistent (which is particularly handy combined with bits & bolts' global room loading feature).

• Force Lightning Load Controller: Forces all lightning on the screen to always be loaded. Intended for use with timestop mechanics, which normally breaks lightning.

• Fake Watchtower: A watchtower you can't interact with.

• Cassette (Don't Disable Blocks): A cassette that unlocks the B-side for the level but will not disable cassette blocks for the current room or session. This has a couple minor side effects (you can collect multiple cassettes in the same level, and the level is ineligible for the full clear flag) but it's a lot less janky than the Force Cassette Block Controller.

• (Deprecated) Force Cassette Block Controller: Always

activates the cassette blocks in the current room, even if a cassette has already been collected this session (which normally disables all cassette blocks in the map). Not recommended to use since it can be prone to crashing with certain setups and I'm too lazy to figure out why it happens; prefer using the "Cassette (Don't Disable Blocks)" entity instead.

• Cursed Moving Solid Thingy: Always moves to your horizontal position. Cursed. Is literally just a white rectangle. Probably useless.

Triggers

• Dash Cancel Trigger: If the player is dashing, this cancels the dash and preserves the player's speed. (This even includes movement caused by external factors like being moved by a block. If you don't know what the difference is, don't worry about it :p)

• Theo Kill Box Trigger (SJ port): Instantly kills Theo if he touches the trigger. Originally from Strawberry Orchard in Strawberry Jam.

• Dash With Holdable Trigger (SJ port): Allows the player to dash while holding something. Originally from Vinculum's Heartside section in Strawberry Jam.

• Custom Cheat Code Trigger: Allows you to create a custom input code (similar to the Prologue cheat code) that activates or deactivates a flag when input. Check the tooltips to see which inputs are available.

• Unlock Checkpoint Trigger: Unlocks a map checkpoint "remotely", without having to enter the room. Comes in 2 versions; the "advanced" version allows you to unlock checkpoints in other maps entirely.

Starjump Tileset Support

** This mod also includes the ability to add the starjump block visual effect to custom tilesets! The effect works with anything that uses tilesets, such as FG tiles, falling blocks, and fake walls.

Here's how to use it (assuming you know how to make custom tilesets):

• Make sure you have SSMHelper as a dependency in your everest.yaml. This isn't an entity, so it won't get picked up by Lönn automatically - you have to add it to your everest.yaml manually.

• Create a custom tileset graphic that is transparent and with square-shaped tiles - the starjump effect will render behind the tileset. Here's an example tileset you can use, based off the vanilla scifi tileset.

• In your tileset XML entry, add a "starjump" attribute, e.g. starjump="1.0". The number represents the alpha (opacity) of the effect. 1.0 is fully opaque, 0.5 is halfway transparent, etc.

• Add a Star Jump Graphics Controller to each room you use the tileset in, just as you would with regular starjump blocks.
